Airbnb launched Trips, one of its most exciting verticals, in New Delhi with an event that captured its essence of specially curated local experiences. Featured in select cities around the world, Trips is a novel platform that brings local experiences to Airbnb travellers that highlight each cities iconic culture in unique and exclusive ways.

Launched by Airbnb CEO, Brian Chesky, at the eclectic, European restaurant Qla, in Old Delhi’s Mehrauli area, the event called for 70 EMG’s spatial design expertise and its transformative prowess. Centered around a showcase by couture designer duo, Shantanu & Nikhil, Qla was transformed to reflect the old-world charm of iconic Delhi in a contemporary, riveting light.

The challenge was to depict Delhi’s traditional avatar while highlighting its modern context. Qla lent its beautiful character to blend the fusion designs. Our team transformed the venue by accentuating the old-world charm and combining all elements within the limited space using our extensive spatial design expertise.
